Home: Perl Programming Help: Win32 Programming Help: perl scripts not executing

yzhang Deleted Sep 7, 2000, 7:44 AM Post #1 of 9 (7213 views) perl scripts not executing Can't Post I have ActivePerl installed in IIS4 on NT. The Perl scripts work on command line but don't work in a browser. It displays the scripts rather than executing the file. In IIS I set up the configuration to c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s with .pl extension. Also the cgi-bin has the execute permission. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

brian.hayes User Sep 8, 2000, 5:33 AM Post #2 of 9 (7213 views) Re: perl scripts not executing [In reply to] Can't Post What service pack are you running for NT? I would recomend sp4 or higher. Plus: On NT there ae different levels of exec permissions. File level, and with IIS there is also exec permissions (Exec as script). I belive this is were you will find your problem. Take a look at the properties of your cgi-bin directory from IIS admin under home directory and make sure your permissions are set for exec there as well. IF all else fails use the perlIIS.dll instead of perl.exe. C:\Perl\bin\PerlIS.dll .pl and check the script box. Let me know. Brian Hayes

I did what you suggested, but it's still not working. I have sp4.0 installed. My html file is located in wwwroot, the perl file in cgi-bin under wwwroot. the cgi-bin has execute(include scripts) right. I also checked the path thru My Computer-Properties-environments-systems/users, there is .pl path. I don't know any other places that I could check. Thank again. Yuqing

brian.hayes User Sep 9, 2000, 7:47 AM Post #4 of 9 (7213 views) Re: perl scripts not executing [In reply to] Can't Post I have an Idea, why dont you explain step by step how you have things configured. E.G: 1) Installed Perl 5.6 2) Opened IIS Manager. 3) Selected the default web site - > Right Click ->properties. 4) Went to the "Home Directory" tab. 5) Clicked on Configuration button. 6) Under app mappings -> CLicked on "add" Exacutable = "C:\perl\bin\perlis.dll Extention = .pl Checked the box "Script Engine" 7) Did 1 - 2, selected the actuall cgi-bin folder -> Rhight Click -> Properties 8) Did 4. 9) Checked the box "Exe as script" 10) Went to the C:\wwwroot\inetpub folder. 11) Right click -> Properties 12) Went to the "Security tab" 13) Make sure that Everyone as Full Control 14) If not then added them and checked "Change all subdirectorys" 15) Clicked "Ok" 16) Did the same for cgi-bin folder. If you did all the above and still no success let me know. Thanks, Brian Hayes

I didn't check Everyone as Full Control in security tab. In the meantime, I wonder why the Perl file only works on a browser located in another machine instead of the one on the same machine that runs Web server. Yuqing
